I think I am the only person I've read about who does not think this piercing was the best idea. Or even a good idea for that matter. I got this piercing to improve sex (striving to release the elusive orgasm for my girlfriend). She had never had an internal orgasm at all nor had she had an orgasm at all with anyone else. This was a first for me because I had always been with girls who were blessed with easy orgasms. This was a tough blow to my ego. I wanted to be able to please her as she pleases me ... even to the extent of skewering my penis on an 8 gauge barbell. I also liked the idea of the piercing; sexual, secret and adventurous. Once it was decided that this was the path to take I made an appointment and stopped by.
At A Glance Author Peter Contact ptgoff101@yahoo.com When Three months ago Artist Scott Studio The Alley Location Chicago I saw Scott and he assured me that this was the way to go for pleasing women. As this agreed with what all I had read I put my final foot forward and set foot in the studio. I am far from homophobic but I was not excited about the idea of another man handling my junk. All that was instantly out of my mind when I met Scott. It was clear that he was a professional and acted accordingly. He put me at ease and we proceeded from there. The piercing went professionally and easily, except for the massive amount of pain (but that was expected). When the needle went in my back arched and my teeth clamped down, wishing for a strap of leather. It was easily the most intense pain I have ever been in. I am not sure what I was expecting, I mean Scott was forcing a metal bar through the most sensitive nerve cluster in my entire body. With little to no blood and minimal swelling I was sure the worst was behind me. I kept up with the sea salt baths and I was feeling fine. Well, w hen I was flaccid I was fine. Erections were painful, but that too was expected (initially).
The pain was tolerable and I thought I was healing well. One week after I thought I'd take a stab (no pun intended) at sex. Although it was an over zealous endeavor it all worked out well and we were both happy and excited with what we should be able to do when I'm at 100%. I took a week or two off and tried again. OH MY LORD! Pain all over my body. I had the endorphin rush of carnal desire facing off against the massive amount of pain shooting through my groin. I'm all for a bit of pain in the heat of the moment, but this was WAY over the top. I had to stop. Wait until lust over powers common sense then back off when pain over powers lust: this was the pattern to be repeated from week three through week ten.
I would be remiss to omit my massive bout with stupidity. Right around week six I was fed up with the celibate life (even most tender oral attention was a blur of pain). I thought I could remove the piercing, we could have sex and then I would put it back in. I gave it a the removal and reinsertion a trial run and it worked without a hitch. So we had sex for the first time in six weeks. And it was great ... right up until the part when I wanted to put it back in. The hole suddenly was much more elusive than before. Elusive to the point of non-existence. With a solid push I got it back in. When I was done crying (well, I didn't quite cry, but I wanted to), I followed up with the sea salt soaks. The next several weeks were predictably tender. Needless to say, this is not recommended.
Last week we were able to have sex. VERY controlled, very tender, and very tentative sex. A shot of "personal lubricant" did nothing to enhance the spontaneity of the moment, but did help with penetration. That last half inch or so is still making me see stars and gritting my teeth.
To make a long story short, I'm here three months later and I still have occasional pain with prolonged erections and with sex as well (especially deeper penetration). Neither of us know if the good feeling is because we haven't had sex in so long or because the piercing enhances the experience. Some lubricant helped, but not quite enough. So here I am, pushing past my 11th week and feeling like I'm about ready to take it out. At least then I know sex is spontaneous, good and pain free. I guess that's my story. Any ideas, suggestions, or comments would be much appreciated.
